71. Exchange Trade

MIA'S POV Then he spat at me, “I've heard you are connected with Juliet." I felt he wasn't asking a question, but he wasn't."I'm definitely sure you're the one," he spoke, and his voice left me with a shocking gaze."How do you know my name?" I asked, and he just smiled and chuckled."There's nothing hidden from me in Texas.” He declared in a low tone,“Please, Mr. Calvin, I don't know you," I pleaded, trying to make him see my pale eyes, and maybe I can seize that opportunity to be free.“I've been in Texas for a very long time, and I have people who work for me just to get information for free," he responded, and his response sent shivers down my veins again.I looked at him directly: "What do you really want from me? Please, just let us go, and I'll do anything for you," I pleaded again, trying to save Angel from his wrath.He just smiled, "You don't have to do much for me. The only thing I need from you is to do the right thing. You have a few steps to take," he muttered, his vo

72. It's Risky

MARK'S POVI bowed my head after receiving the call, my mind racing with the fact that Mia and Tracy's daughter had been kidnapped. I muted my voice, barely audible, as I sat on a plush couch in my room with Juliet beside me. Both of us gazed at each other."What? No, it can't be." I whispered inwardly to myself, "Mia and Angel have been kidnapped, Juliet," I said in a low tone.“Who kidnapped them?" she asked immediately, and I was left speechless, aware of what the kidnapper had requested—Juliet."How should I tell Juliet that she is the only key that can rescue Mia and Angel from their clutches?" I whispered inwardly to myself. I was not hurt but worried.I stretched my hand to my jaw and began to scratch it, trying to find answers and ways to communicate with Juliet."Mark, what is wrong? Your face is pale and worried," she asked, but I couldn't answer her. I remained in my thoughts, thinking of a way out apart from taking Juliet to the kidnapper."Juliet, you've been through a l

73. My Niece

JULIET'S POV Mark stood in front of us, guiding us from any threat from Calvin, a man I didn't even know. But I stood comfortably and bravely, gently walking from behind him to the couch pointed out by Calvin, facing my own fear without being guided by any man."This is me, Juliet. What the fuck do you want from me? I don't recall ever seeing your face before," I spoke angrily and harshly in front of him.I wasn't ready for all this. Then he was quiet, keeping on looking directly into my eyes as if he was trying to reconnect a disconnected network. I was shocked and surprised by the way he was looking at me.I felt like flicking my eyes away from him, but the more I did that, the more he kept on looking and never released a blink from my eyes. Then Mark approached me and sat beside me."Yes, what do you want from her? This is Juliet. I guess you didn't call her here to harm her," Mark said, his voice filled with rage. He felt like slapping and hitting Calvin and forcing him out of t

74. The Collateral

Juliet's POV"I'm so sorry, Juliet. I tried my best to assist in any way I can. If only your father and I were on good terms,” Me Calvin tried to defend himself from accusation."Truly, your father had warned me before he died not to delve into this road that I delved into now. Now I found myself lost in the wilderness, and I'm trying to come back. Juliet, you are my only family," Calvin announced, his voice low yet audible."Why did you not find me when the time was right? Why are you looking for me now?" I asked again.His question was sensible and meaningful. Then it took him some time before he responded."Juliet, I didn't mean to find you; you would have been dead by now. I never knew you were the bride on Mr. George's wedding day. I came, but nobody knew me, and I don't know you either," I explained.He answered immediately, "Juliet, I called you all here because you are at the brink of dying.” He spoke sternly, his voice etched with confusion.“I don't get that," I responded."

75. The Threat

MR GEORGE'S POV "Anna, blame your death on your useless father," I spat at Annabelle, Trump's daughter, as I sat down in the dimly lit room of my Texas home. I gazed directly at her, feeling no remorse. All I cared about was getting my goods or money back. After all, Calvin had proven to be incompetent, just like JONES, his brother, whom I'd locked up for several years.I was sure that if CALVIN knew his brother was alive, he would have planned to kill me by now. But he was too stupid to even recognize when a car crash was real or staged. He never deserved to be one of my gang leaders.“Am I right?” I thought to myself. If Calvin didn't know his brother was still alive, then I need to act very fast before he does find Juliet in this Texas.Meanwhile, I passed my phone to Annabelle. "Be careful with it. I'm putting it on loudspeaker, and you're going to speak with your stupid father."I'd explained the situation to Annabelle before she started trembling. "Please, I'm not the one who c

76. An Head For An Head

DIANA’S POV We arrived at an old mill warehouse in the house gate of Texas. The warehouse's stone facade blended seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. Narrow windows with metal frames stood like empty eyes, while a large, wooden door with a rusted handle appeared to be the only entrance.As we stepped out of the car and inside the warehouse, the creaking of the old wooden floorboards beneath our feet echoed through the cavernous space. The air was thick with the scent of decay and neglect. Flickering fluorescent lights cast eerie shadows on the walls, illuminating old machinery and dusty relics of a bygone era.“Why do I feel like something is going to happen here?" I whispered to myself,A sense of nostalgia hung heavy in the air, but it was clear that this place had been abandoned for decades. I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being watched, and the silence was oppressive.I kept my gaze on both sides, even though we were here to meet Lorenzo. But I still had fears was

77. Set up

TRUMP'S POVThe loud, blood-curdling scream that pierced the room sent a chill down my spine. Theresa's anguished cry echoed through the house, a haunting sound that seemed to freeze time itself.I rushed to her side, my heart racing with a sense of foreboding. What I saw made my blood run cold. Theresa was kneeling on the floor, her eyes fixed in horror on the body bag that lay before her.As I watched in stunned silence, Theresa's trembling hands slowly unzipped the bag, revealing the lifeless body of Annabelle inside. Her eyes were frozen, her body cold. A single gunshot wound marred her otherwise flawless skin, a grim reminder of the violence that had taken her life.Theresa's scream had been a reaction to the unspeakable horror that lay before her. Now, she sat in stunned silence, her eyes fixed on Annabelle's body, her face a mask of shock and grief. I could feel her pain, her anguish, as she struggled to come to terms with the brutal reality that had been thrust upon her.There

78. The Right Password

JULIET'S POV As I walked in, Theresa's head was bowed downward, facing the marble tiles of the station.“I'm so sorry for the loss of your sister," I said, sitting down beside Theresa in the station. "Thank you, Juliet," her voice was slow. This was a different Theresa; she wasn't as harsh as the same one I had thought I knew. She was cool, I guess. The death of her sister seemed to have softened her heart and changed her into a better person."Theresa, you need to take it easy and not think too much about it," I said. "I know you loved Annabelle as your blood sister, even though she's not your biological sister.""Don't say that, Juliet!" She sprang into a bit of anger when she heard what I said. "She's still my sister; she will forever remain my sister, even in death." Her voice was slow yet firm."I'm so sorry," I said, trying to comfort and console her. "I'm just trying to let you know that she needs all the love and prayer, even if she's dead now. Let's try and give her a befit

79. Revelation

Mark's POV "We've collected the flash drive, like you have demanded, but now something is not clear to us," I spoke on top of my voice as I kept gazing at my mom sitting upright on a wooden chair in front of me."What did you see, Mark?" she asked, and I think she had not even been able to open the flash drive or know what was inside. She just kept it safe until we found it."Mom, the flash drive contains important information about your husband, George.” I said in a low tone,“Ahh!" She exclaimed,"Information about his atrocities," I explained."What! So, Jones gave me the flash that contains secrets, and I gave it to Erick, my investigative officer, and, in turn, I think he has watched everything.” My mom tried to gather all instances to make sense."Oh, maybe he cracked it open and gave it back to me, telling me to keep it very well and give it to Juliet. I didn't know there was something so important in the flash," my mom uttered, her voice laden with seriousness. Her weak voic

80. Suspicion

THERESA’S POV I stepped into the dimly lit room; immediately I stumbled upon Mark and Juliet by the door, rushing out of the office. Ethan was startled and quickly picked up something from the wooden table, gently slotting it into his pocket while fixing his gaze on me."Ah, Ethan, sorry to startle you. I think you're busy, right? I'll come back," I said and turned back, facing the door.But then he rushed to me, holding my hand immediately. "Oh, no, no, you can stay. I'm free now. You can be with me since Mark and Juliet are all out," he demanded, and I was pleased by his warm welcome.Then he kept fixing his gaze on me, his concerned eyes fixed on me the whole time. "Don't leave yet, Theresa," he demanded again, and I calmed down, sitting beside him."You see, I've been searching for the right time to say that you are the most beautiful lady I've ever seen," he said, his voice low yet firm, sending shivers down my spine."Is this a joke or what?" I asked, trying not to become a vic
